Left about 6 a.m. with Tobie, Lisa, and Ryan...one more rode with us for a bit.

Split off from T&L at Cave Junction for breakfast.

Visited Crater Lake for the first time.

It got hot.

Through Bend and it got hotter.

Dropped altitude to Biggs Junction and got REALLY hot.

And by home it was about 105 degrees....so kinda hot.

Slept 10 hours and feel a bit better today.

 
Left foggy Eureka about 7:30 and got home around 3:30pm. Stop and go traffic for some reason between Albany and Salem which sucked in the 90 deg. heat. Had a great time, thanks everyone.

I stalled around the hotel till checkout ("get booted out") time of noon. Gassed up, said a couple more last-minute goodbyes, and picked up my daughter from her weekend visit in Arcata. Stayed in the cool as long as we could, had lunch, took a deep breath and headed inland. We did the 101-20-16-I-5 route. Hot as hell in Garberville, but then it seemed to cool down a little bit. By the time we made Willits it wasn't all that bad. Got into Sac about 9 p.m. and it was nice and cool, bless that Delta Breeze!

Had a ball. Thanks to Hal and the staff for everything. Great rides (the ones that hugged the coast, anyway) and great folks. When's the next one? And WHERE?

 
Got in about 4PM. Just for info on trailering. Other than braking I didn't notice it at all and riding between 60-80 I averaged 42mpg.
That trailer looks just right for the FJR. From behind, it is exactluy the same width and corners well. Gotta get that on my wish list. I stopped in Eureka, around 2 for a gas and go.

 
After a 9:15 AM departure Ms Bluestreek and I made it home yesterday about 2:15PM. 101 to 36 to 99 to 70 and home to Marysville

Thanks to all who had a part in putting together another great rally. Can't wait for next year

:fans:
